      “THIS MISSION ISN’T OVER, NOT BY A LONG SHOT.”

      Hal Brognola turned away from the screen, a great, painful weight pressing down on his chest. He had to remind himself to breathe.

      Rosario Blancanales’s death, if that is what had come to pass, was ultimately his responsibility. He was the man in charge. Circumstances beyond his control had forced him to make decisions based on fragmentary information, under incredible time constraints.

      Under those conditions, unpleasant outcomes were to be expected. Friends, comrades lost in the bargain. But in the end, there was one simple, sustaining truth. Every member of Stony Man, Able Team and Phoenix Force was expendable if the fate of the nation hung in the balance. None of them had any reservations about dying for their country.

      The grieving for the loss of their comrade in arms would have to wait. As the Bear had said, it wasn’t over.
